NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF BOX-MAKING MACHINE.

Patented Feb. 18, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Cannes HOLLY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lockort, in the county of Niagara and State of eiv York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Box-MakingMachines, of which the followin is a full, clear, and exact descri tion,suc as will enable others skilled in t e art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to machines -for making boxes, and moreparticularly to the mechanism for applying adhesive to the box elementswhereby they may be'securely held in assembled relation.

()ne of the objects of the invention is the provision of a practicalmeans for applying glue to the flanges of boxes in order to retain necksor collars therein.

Another object of the invention is the production of simplemechanism'for eiliciently gluing the inner walls of a box in definiteplaces.

Other objects will be in part obvious and part pointed out hereinafter.I The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction,combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will-beexemplified in the construction here'- inafter set forth, and the scopeof the ap li'- cation of which will be indicated in the olloivingclaims.

In the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters referto similar parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 represents arear view of a box machine, with .the gluing device associatedtherewith' Fig. 2 represents a side view of a rtion oi the machine; Fig.8 represents a stall plan of the picker; Fig. 4 represents a box collarin perspective; Fig. 5 represents abox body in pers .ctivey Fig. 6represents the as scan 10 a sectional elevation of the glui device;

Figs 8 and 9 are detailsyFig. 10 is a plan of the glue tank and thedauber; Figs. 11, 12 and 13am detail views; Fig. 14 is a plan of themechanism for feedin the boxes to thepicker; Fig. 15 is a s e elevationof Fig. 14; Fig. 16 is an elevation of the picker from the front.

Referring now more. specifically to the box body, collar and cord; Fig.7 is drawings, it may be noted that the invention forming thesubject-matter of this. application is a' division of applicants priorapplication, filed January 16, 1911, Serial No.

002,862, and is herein described in its relaor neck "being preferab y'com osed of an open rectan ular element 6 a apted to be inserted wit inthe body.and to be ad- 'hesively attached to the inner Walls of theflange 1. The collar projects above the upper c of the flan formingtherewith a shou der 3. In or or that the body and collar may beetliciently attached, adhesive is inter between them, and in the presentein diment the adhesive is preferably a plied to the inner walls of thebox bodies,

e collars being subsequently telescoped with the bodies, as explained,and the assembled elements subsequently pressed to obtain secureadherence.

Any suitable mechanism may be employed to feed the box bodies into andout of gluing sition, but the present embodiment rovides an endlesscarrier comprisin a belt 275 'passing over ways 271, which ,ielt feedsthe boxes to position beneath a rearwardly projecting plate 288, wherethey remain at rest and from which position they are fed laterall to themechanism for applying glue to in interior.

1 28 9 is a glue supply reservoir or at r0- vided with chamberedwallsthrougi w ioh steam may-be passed to heat said. pot. This pot islocated to the left of the angle irons 270'. idin the belt with its edgeapproximatel leve therewith, and extending over said pot are two suprting and guiding plates 290 for the box ies. These plates extend at riht an les to the wa s 271, being provid with or tree 291, between andon' which the box bodies slide belt, mechanism. is provided forintermit-- tently moving them successively along the guides 290 toposition over the glue in the pot. p

Projecting upwardly from the bottom of the glue fpot at a pointcorresponding to the center 0 Y the box when placed in glue applyingposition over the pot. is'a guide rod or sleeve 293 having a deflectingor cam portion comprising an uiwardly and outwardly flaring, preferab yconical, upper portion 294 for a purpose to be hereina ter described.Secured within the sleeve 293 is a rod 295 having a shoulder-296extending upwardly from the end of the conical portion 294 of the sleeve293. Mounted on the guide rod or sleeve 293 and adapted to reciprocateup and down thereon is a sup rt or plate 297 preferably elongated, andaving at its central ortion, surrounding the guide rod, prefera ly fourlugs 298 spaced 90 apart and servin as journal bearings for the axes ofthe gue applyin arms or dauber fingers 299 0 an expansib e dauber, thefin ers of which are ivoted respectivelv to saicllm g s.- Each dau rfinger is gradually widened or outwardly tapered toward its upperextremity and terminates in a rojecting portion 300 and a preferabl pain narrow face 301, the length of the g ue line to be a plied, in thiscase substantial}; correspondin to the length of the si es or walls of te box body with which they con: tact, respectively. Passing through eachof the arms 299 is a cam 302 adapted to co6pcrate with the cam portion294 and comprising an ad'ustable screw which may be locked in a justedposition by means of the nut 303. The inner end of each screw contactswith the sleeve 293 throughout the movement of the pla te 297 up anddown thereon. The dauber fingers 299 are connected in diametricallyopposed 305 extendin upwardly from pairs by means'of springs 304 whichtend to retain the cams 302 against the rod 293. The end portions of theelo ted are secured'to supporting an 'ng rods plate and and downwardlybeing curv 806. The rods 306 terall into the connecting in connectionwith the rods 805 are designed to move up and down to introduce thedauber fingers 299 alternately into the box body, and into the glue,submer ng the tingers n the glue, and in order t at this operation maybe' performed the following mechanism is provided: The shaft 278 isextended to a convenient point near the glue carrier and on its endportion is provided late 297- with the offset roller 311 which contactswith the cam 307. The other end of the rock arm 309 is pivotallyconnected to a cross plate 312 at the central portion thereof, saidcross plate being yieldin'gly connected to the glue carrier connectingrods 306 by means of the springs313. The rods 306 pass through openingsin each end of the plate 312 and ure.retained thereon by the nuts 314ongagin" the screw threaded ends of the rods 306. s uts 315 are rovidedon each rod 306 between which an the exq tremit of the plate 312 thesprings 313are locatet. The nuts 315 serve as a means for adjustingthe-tension of the springs 313 and may serve at times as stops to limitthe upward motion of the glue carrier.

The box bodies are placed in an inverted position on the belt whichleads them 'toward the glue carrier. That is, they are placed on thebelt with their open sides down, and when they are fed into position 0over the glue applying device.they present their open sides to saiddevice, and the flanges of the plates 290, which support the boxes inglue applyin position, are of such width as not to interfere with theapplication of glue to-the inner sides of the Walls of the box. As theshaft 278 rotates, the high portion of the cam 307. will operate therock arm 309 to elevate the plate 207, and as said plate rises the cams302 will be 11:; pressed outwardly by the flared up )er end 294 of thesleeve 293 carrying the Q( ges 301 of the dauberfingers outwardlyagainst the inner face of the walls of the box opposite thereto, theglue on said arms being thus deposited upon the walls of the box,preferably in a thin line. As the glue is deposited on the walls of thebox the lllillt'h' 290 serve to brace, or, as it'were, reinforce thewalls, preventing any substantial beud- 1!: ing of said walls ormovement thereof away from the gluing fingers; The position of theflaring portion 294 is such that the arms 29!) will not have beenpressed outwardly u sufficient distance to en age the walls of the 11-5box until said arms shall have entered the box. It is preferred to soproportion the pzrts of this gluer that the line of glue shall appliedto the inside wall of the box a short distance from its edge and it willbe 'counter of abnormal resistance, such, for in- 1 stance, asmi ght' beoccasioned by the improper article ield in the path of the dauber. i

sitioning of agbox' or by'any other .In connection with ithej glueapplying mechanism 'just described, means are provided for throwing thesame into "and out of operation without interfering with'the continuedoperation of the other portions of the machine. This is'apcomplished bymalr-i ing the arm 309 in two' parts 316 and 317 pivotally connected at318. Preferably the part 4316 consists-of links pivoted "at 318 p P send of e latter.- Piv'otally supported. between the pair of links 316 isa latch 319, which may. engiage'a shoulder 320 on the part 317, and we'iithe latch 319 engages the shoulder 320 the parts 316 and 317arelocked in ition and to ther form an arm of the lever 309. 'hen thelatch'319 'is disengaged from the shoulder 320, movement of the part 317by the cam 30? will no longer be effectively communicated to the part316 so as to raise the cross plate 312 and, in con: sequence, the gluecar-gin device. Aspring 321 is connected to e fiateh and the arm 316 toyieldingly maintain the latchin engagement with the shoulder 320. Thusthe atch may be readily disengaged, as will be obvious. When the. roller31]. on the rock arm309 is en aged with the .low part of the cam 30?.theg ue carrier has dropped to its lowest position and is submerged in theglue, the lowering of the glue carrier being due to gravity assisted bya spring 322 attached at one end to the extremity of the rock arm nearthe central portion of. the cross plate 312 and at its other end toaconvenient point on the frame of .the machine. In order' to provide forthe smooth and accurate operation of the rods 306 an elongated bearingsleeve 324 projects upwardly from the interior of the glue pot, the samebeing secured to the inner bottom portion of the pot by a screw threadedconnection, permitting its removal. One of the rods306 extends throughthesleeve 324 and throu h the bottom of the pot. The other simi r rodengages vertical and elongated bearings 325 in the flanges provided atthe to and hottom of the pot. The upperi end -o the bearthat not only isa. practical and efiicient glu e ng mechanism provided, but also overthe gluepofia'prefera ly constructed l'sl'epvfh 324 is tiituated' abovetllile glue -eve o e pot, uspermitting e free pass'a ofthe' rod 306without contacting the g no, and also avoiding leakage. .-It will beobserved. {mm -the-forego ing escription pp whic may bereadily takenapart and packed or repaired-as may be desirable. 'The mechanism formoving or feed ng the bo'x'bodifinw glue-ap lying position as follows:At the u perrighthand portion of the machine is a ame portion consisting'te sides of the arm 317 at the of substantially an I-beam horizontallyarran ed and extending'transversely of the mac ine; and comprising theupstanding ,web 326.. The upper flange of the I-beam supports aguideplate in which is a longitudmal groove having an undercut wall 327,between which and 'a spaced removable plate'328, slides a guide rod 329of a rec-i rocatory cross head. Besides rod 329 the reciprocating crossheadcomprises an inclined cross bar 330 connecting one end of the-rod329 with a lowenrod 331 su ported and sliding on the bottom flange oithe I- beam and in the angle where said flange joins-the I-beam. Therods 329 and 331 are in proper alinement during its reciprocation and topermit the cross head to have an ulnplitude of reciprocation eorresending with the distance from the end 0 the feeding: channels for thebodies to the glue applying positionof said bodies. Pivotally connectedto the bottom end portion of the cross head is a picker rod 332extending longitudinally of the,cross head and provided with atransversely projecting arm 333 and a downwardl v'and laterallyprojecting picker 334. the latter being adapted to engage and mow: thebox bodies from the feeding guideway' to-glue applying position as thecross head reciprocates. In order that the picker may accomplish thisresult, the inner end of the guideway is provided with a supporting andguiding plate 335, on which the arm 331-, plays when moving in onedirection. switch comprising a tapered rod 336, one end -of which'ispivoted to an ppstanding wall at 337, has its other end resting .uponthe guide-way 335 at the end toward which the box bodies are fed and isyieldingly pressed against said guideway 335 by thev skiing 338 engaginga pin 339 projecting t ough a curv slot 340 inthe upstanding wall 341.As the cross head reeiprocatesthe picker'334 at the beginning of itsinward movement is in a position to engage an outer wall of the box bodywhich is at the end of the guideway formed by the bars 270, the arm 333re'stin upon the guideway 335. As the cross hea moves inwardly thepicker feeds the box into glue applying position on lp'ortm bar 333 haspa beneath and beyond e switch 336. As the picker reciprocates in theopposite direction the switch will be yieldingy held .in the path of therod'333- by its spring 338, and the picker will accordingly be ifted asthe rod 333 follows the upper surface of the switch and thuscarriedoverthe succeeding box body, which at this time has been brought to the endof the feeding gaidewa'y. The rod 333 atthe end of its reci tion drops.from the end of the switch onto the guideway 835, thus' carrying thepicker into position of a sutlieient length to retain the cross head theguides 290, at which 'tion the sup- 55 1 plying position and feedsit-forw to another box which is abouttolbe 347 adjustahly connected -toa disk wheel formed by the plates 351.

into glue applying position. In order that the picker may be accuratelypositioned with 'respect to the box bodies as theyrest guideway itis'adjustably connected to the picker arm 332 by a pin and slotcon- An,in order to provide for the accurate placing of the box in glue applyingposition the picker arm 332 is adjustably connected to the cross. head331 by means of a pivoted arm 343 having an opening through which thearm 332 extends and in which arm means of the pin 344. Thearm 333 is incontact with the guideway 335 by means of a spring 345 attached to theupper partof the cross head and to the member 343," preferably by meansof the screw 344 which passes through a perforation in the lower 'end ofthe spring Reciprocating motion is communicated to the picker throughthe cross head by means of a connecting rod 346 pivoted at one end to anintermediate portion of the cross bar 330 of the cross head, the otherend of the connecting rod being joined to a crank pin 348 journaledthrough an intermediate portion of the web 326mm] located in frontthereof. The rear end-of the shaft of the wheel 348 is provided with abevel pinion 349 which meshes with a bevel gear 350 on the shaft of thecarrier. As the carrier shaft intermittently rotates, as previouslydettent rotary motion is 'com-. municated t0 the wheel 348 andthe pickerthus intermittently reciprocates in accordance with the movement of thecarrier.

The box bodies, after glue has been applied thereto in the mannerhereinbefore described, are fed-'successively and automati cally fromglue applying position into a downwardly open channel or guideway inlino with the channel formed by the bars. 290. This channelis:practically a continuation of the channel 291 and is formed bydepending plates" 351 secured to opposite sides of the lower head of theI-beam. The plates 351 are pro'ided with flanges 352 to support theedges of the boxes'in' their passage through the guideway. As the pickerreciprocates and draws a succeeding box body into'glue applying positionthe forward end of said y .e'nfages the box which had been previously edglue ap l away.

from such position and to the 'gu eway n will be observed that the as amment of- -the.-dauher, or more particularly 4118 .u ward movement 0 thelate izfl'i aiidthe ateral deflection-caused )y. the cam; 294',beingthus aresultant of movements in paths at an angle toeachglibec'adjustably secured by supporta other. Thus the dauher'tingers moveupwardly and simultaneously outwardly so that when the it is notonly-pressed a buti'ubbed thereon, e rubbing-not only more eflicientlyglues the box, but the more ment'causing the rubbing enables a dauberwith a thin edge to beemployed andyet a relatively wide line of glue tobe applied. Thus by the above described construction are accomplished,among others, the objects 'hereinbefore ref to,
